| Obverse description | The fifth definitive effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, designed by Jody Clark, occupies the central field, depicting a right-facing crowned and draped bust of the Queen wearing a tiara and drop earring. The circumferential legend reads ELIZABETH II · D · G · REG · F · D · 50 PENCE · 2022, with the denomination and date distributed around the upper arc and the royal titles around the lower arc. The engraver's initials J.C appear beneath the truncation of the bust. The portrait is rendered in fine relief characteristic of the proof finish, with sharply struck details on the crown and hair. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a finely detailed depiction of Kanga and Roo, the beloved characters from A. A. Milne's Winnie-the-Pooh as rendered in the classic Disney animation style. Kanga, the mother kangaroo, is shown seated and leaning attentively toward Roo, her joey, who is perched on a small wooden stool to the left. A small bee is depicted in the upper field to the left of the inscription. The stylised legend 'Kanga & Roo' is inscribed in an informal hand-lettered script to the right of the figures, with the copyright notice '©Disney' appearing in the lower right field. The composition is set against a textured ground suggestive of the Hundred Acre Wood, with the design occupying the full heptagonal field. |
